14 Hispanic leaders endorse Trump and will campaign for him. Too much at stake for America in face of terror attacks and various shootings, only way to fix America is to vote for Trump. 'We know that Donald Trump won't divide the country and fuel the flames of racial confrontation' by accusing police of being racist-Washington Times

"Latino leaders dramatically switched gearsMonday by announcing their
plans to endorse Donald Trump in the wake of the recent shootings in
the United States and terrorist attacks overseas— giving the
presumptive GOP presidential nominee a needed boost among minority
voters ahead of his scheduled nomination this week here at the
Republican National Convention.

The signatories — including Alfonso Aguilar, head of the Latino
Partnership for Conservative Principles and Massey Villareal, former
president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce — said that the Mrs.
Clinton is not interested in fixing the broken immigration system, and
said Mr. Trump has taken a step in the right direction by softening his
immigration stance.

“We realize that much of the uproar over Trump
within the Latino community has been over his comments and proposals on
immigration,” the letter read. “Democrats have certainly used it to
pander to our community. But the reality is that Clinton cannot be
trusted on immigration.

“[Mr. Trump] said recently that he doesn’t
want to deport every single undocumented immigrant, and that he only
called for the removal of those with criminal records,” the letter said....

Like
most, these events have given us pause and led us to see in a new light
how decisive the next election will be for the future of our country.

During
the primary, we took an active stance opposing the candidacy of Donald
Trump. We were offended by some of his statements and views on
immigration. We said in no uncertain terms that if he became the GOP
nominee, we would not support him, campaign for him, or vote for him.

However,
the magnitude and the frequency of the recent episodes of violence and
terror, as well as the devastating statements from FBI Director James
Comey regarding Hillary Clinton’s gross negligence in the handling of
her official communications as Secretary of State, have led us to
reconsider our position. We see now that we cannot remain silent as our
great Republic, which Abraham Lincoln called "the last best hope of
earth”, appears to be coming apart at the seams.

We’re
convinced that if we allow Hillary Clinton to become president, the
liberal policies of the last eight years of big government and social
reengineering, which have led to the societal and economic malaise in
which we now find ourselves, will be continued and perpetuated.

Furthermore,
Clinton’s shady use of an unsecured private server to manage official
communications, which included top secret and classified material, and
continued lies to cover it up, perhaps even committing perjury before a
House of Representatives panel, demonstrate that she does not have the
character and ethical standards to be president.

We
have, therefore, decided not only to vote for Donald Trump, but to
actively campaign for his candidacy. Too much is at stake for America
for us to remain neutral on the sidelines.

We also know that Trump can
better address the terrorist threat we face because, contrary to
Clinton, he is willing to acknowledge and address its root cause:
radical Islamic fundamentalism. And we also know that Trump will reverse
the current overregulation and excessive taxation of business which
stifles economic growth and prevents the creationof well paid jobs.

We
realize that much of the uproar over Trump within the Latino community
has been over his comments and proposals on immigration. Democrats have
certainly used it to pander to our community. But the reality is that
Clinton cannot be trusted on immigration. She now portrays herself as a
champion of immigrant rights, yet back in 2007 she voted for a poison
pill amendment to kill immigration reform. Just two years ago, she
called for the expedited removal of unaccompanied minors coming from
Central America.

Ironically, even on immigration, we may fare
better with Trump. At the end of the day, he is practical and a
deal-maker. He said recently that he doesn’t want to deport every single
undocumented immigrant, and that he only called for the removal of
those with criminal records.
